Sometimes – not often, not in the Abyss, but he has been here long enough that it happens – sometimes, Lukas dreams.
He dreams that it is 4,000 years in the future and that everything he's ever known and loved is dead and gone. That Kasajin perished on a battlefield, swallowed up by an army of undead until not even his corpse is left. That Lucid died in agony, his body sliced into a hundred-thousand pieces trampled into the mud and his name lost to the passage of time. That Schweiser breathed his last as an old man hunched in a cave, eyes gone milky white with age, alone and unmourned. That Iris – that Iris turned to the side of the Demigods, eyes alight with mad fervour, drenched in the blood of those she once called friend.
He dreams of frozen rivers and drake fire, of contracting with demon grand dukes and allying with Demigods. He dreams of drinking lightning – no, summoning lightning – no, becoming lightning, of nestling his mana chamber against his heart to make way for flesh swollen with divine power.
And this is how he knows ‘tis but a dream, for what human can bear host to mana and divine power alike?
He dreams of a presence looming behind his shoulder, always out of sight, but always watching. He dreams that he feels the butterfly-touch of an exhale against his hair, hears the eerie echo of a voice too powerful and too terrible to bear –
“Found you, traitor.”
